If you were to come to my neighborhood, you would notice palm trees lining my block like guards outside Buckingham Palace. If you looked a little closer, you might even notice “please do not litter” neatly spraypainted in green on sidewalks and street corners. Depending on the time of year, you might find words likeContinue reading “Mission and Blessing”

The Idol of Productivity
Don’t ask me why but I recently watched some Hallmark-esque movie about a hopeless romantic who meets the man of her dreams only to discover he’s not actually what she wants. More interesting than the story itself was its side narrative of the main character’s sister, the sister’s boyfriend, and their recent engagement. The storyContinue reading “The Idol of Productivity”
Random Thoughts.
So this post will seem as if I’ve run out ideas or that I’m too lazy to write an actual post. On the contrary, I actually saw this on a pastor’s blog a few months ago and have been collecting thoughts about everything and nothing since. I want to share some with you. Without furtherContinue reading “Random Thoughts.”
My Lack of Faith
“Why haven’t you invited me to church?” she asked, looking me straight in the eyes. I wasn’t sure what caught me more off guard: the fact she’d been so straightforward in her inquiry or the fact that this was actually the second time in a month someone asked me this exact question. Searching my headContinue reading “My Lack of Faith”
Why We (I) Can’t Have Nice Things
Ten minutes away from my apartment sits a lovely two-bedroom, two bathroom townhouse on the canal waiting for renters. In it is a guest room so spacious it could pass as the master, enough storage space to make your friends jealous, and a master bedroom so gargantuan you’ll fall over at the sight of itContinue reading “Why We (I) Can’t Have Nice Things”
All The Small Things: Thoughts on Grandiose vs. Everyday Actions
“Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay… small acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps it is because I am afraid… andContinue reading “All The Small Things: Thoughts on Grandiose vs. Everyday Actions”
And Sometimes God Says “No”
It started with a good quiet time and a handful of ideas I thought could change Cayman. All right, that’s a bit of an exaggeration but that’s how I was feeling. Glowing like Moses post-Sinai, I rejoined the Israelites to watch each idea get shot down by reality, the final straw being a unique ministryContinue reading “And Sometimes God Says “No””
Borders, Circuit City, and the Local Church: Will Technology be Our Demise?
It seems as if a new wave is rising in Cayman of young people streaming Sunday services from their houses. You ask them what church they attend and they timidly confess (because Cayman is a bit behind on the times) they watch church from home. These aren’t naïve new Christians afraid of church discipline. TheseContinue reading “Borders, Circuit City, and the Local Church: Will Technology be Our Demise?”
